“And let us arise, and go up to Beth–el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.”
Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone. Jacob's testimony to his household is the testimony of the Bethel encounter: the God who answered me in distress, who has been with me everywhere. The application: the invitation to the communal act of worship is always grounded in personal testimony. Jacob invites his household to the God who answered him personally.
